Finally. I Can Watercolor.

Remember David Luttrell? He refuses to join Facebook, but he's always emailing his friends the best stuff. He recently told me about this watercolor app called Waterlogue, which I downloaded in six seconds. Don't ask me why I waited so long.

This is my first doodle––but can you see the possibilities?

I Won a Sticker!

My book won an Ezra Jack Keats honor award this morning. When I told Tom the award was for writing, he said, "You'd better get to work on your illustration."

One reason this award makes me feel so good is because it reminds me of the magical afternoon Gina and I spent with Ezra Jack Keats at the Contemporary Jewish Museum.

What did Tom and I do to celebrate? Something very unusual. We took a walk.

When we got back from our walk, this was hanging on our door. The PAC had paid a visit!

A celebratory gift from Aggles came in the mail.

Anne Herbst is a painter. She's also a friend of mine.

I have some rewarding work at the moment, and one of my projects is putting together a brand new website for Anne. I'm having fits looking at her work on the CD's she dropped off on my front porch yesterday. The painting above is one I'd never seen before. Opening each new file is a surprise and delight.

p.s. I've recently discovered an amazing way to build websites: Squarespace. This company has brought joy to my life and changed the whole way I look at web work. At night instead of reading novels I've been watching Squarespace tutorials and having good dreams.
